* RECORD OF DISCUSSION ON THE REPORT IN GENEVA.
[15 October 1914] Thursday. Geneva.

Avdeyev: Order of 10 [October]. Only!!! unjust!50

In Kyiv. Is it German culture's happiness?? In the fist of the tyrant Wilhelm II.51

contradictions of unclear thought (with clear form):
(1) National wars would justify offensive war. A mistake!!!
The Franco-Prussian struggle of 1871 was it national? At the beginning there was not a trace of imperialism! Bebel was against it.52

(2) Imperialism. Purely-? Complete enslavement of France!!
((10 billion [franc] indemnity)))
25-year enslavement......53

Rogdayev:54 "Ugly" impression—attacks on [the word] anarchism. (1) Hervé. (2) Collapse of anarchism. Overdoing it regarding anarchism.
[anarchism—the second illegitimate wife]
| Hervé |
| and Kropotkin? | All-out strike of anarchists? ...
((They silenced Domela Nieuwenhuis))

various subtleties of imperialism?
| working man of labor. Socialism was not its expression. |
! All-out strike against war—not by those who engage in revolutionary phraseology........

LENIN MISCELLANY

Gorelik:56 The report came from sound premises,— but in the 2nd part he forgot everything....

((1)) Serbian socialists? They have national wars.
And Serbia?
Behind [her] Russia and France? A formal objection....
(only fortunate coincidence)
((2)) France.... Imperialism?
Alliances and secret treaties. This proves absolutely nothing.
Alliances are concluded to defend [themselves], with Zulus!
(speaker)
with special eagerness [attacking] the weaknesses of the French and Belgians.
"
They guarantee that (Vaillant and others) France did not want war

* RECORD OF SUBMITTED QUESTIONS.

1) Does not the resolution of the congress on the difficulties of the moment justify [entry] "into the ministry"?
2) How is the chauvinist frenzy of the French and socialists explained? Only psychologically? Or more deeply?
3) From whom does he expect war, when he vilifies the socialists?

At the end of the appended record of discussion on the report in Claran (near Montreux) Lenin sketched a brief summary of the statements, marking three main points, the third point being taken by him from the record of Divilkovsky's statement. The numeration of these points is reproduced by us on the right side of the text in the form as it appears in the document.

The report was chaired by N. Krylenko.
